We are offering the entire stock of the well-known Rinkenbach store at remarkable reductions, in accordance with the estab lished policy of this store for nearly a quarter of a century to share the benefits of a big purchase of this character with our patrons. €fl We purchased the Rinkenbach goods away below regular prices. Many of them if purchased wholesale, under prevailing market ' conditions, would retail for nearly double the prices we are asking. <1 Our gigantic Disposal Sale is an unusual sale. It is remarkable for the Quantity of merchandise we offer, the High Quality of the goods, the Variety of the displays and the great Money- Saving Price Reductions. CjJ It is only occasionally that a sale like this occurs. It may be a long while before ; such worthy values will be offered again. This is a rare opportunity to buy early and economically for the holidays. C| The Council of National Defense has advised early Christmas buying this Fall. The reasons are to save labor, materials and man-power, also saving in tranportation and delivery facilities necessarily involved in the large volume of Christmas purchases. •I From every standpoint it is advisable to make your purchases NOW.
